Listening Overview
The IELTS listening test is the same for both those taking the Academic and
General Training papers.
It consists of 40 questions (10 per section) and lasts around 30 minutes. You
will have 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers from the question
paper to the answer sheet.
The listening test consists of four separate sections, each more difficult than
the last. In other words, part one is the easiest and part four is the most
difficult. Each part has a different theme or focus.
There are several different types of question and each requires a different
strategy so you should familarise yourself with all of them. They include:
Form/note/table completion
Labeling a diagram or map
Sentence Completion
Short Answers
Selection
Multiple Choice
Matching
